Mulu City is the easternmost city of Khorasan, Persia, which is very important for Persia to control the Tocharian region, for this reason, the Persian Empire has always attached great importance to Mulu City, and has gathered heavy troops in Mulu City all the year round, but at this time, they are facing the most powerful Jin Empire in the East, for this reason, although they transferred all 60,000 soldiers and horses in the Khorasan region to Mulu City, but still let the Jin army break through the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After all, if the Persian Empire loses Mulu City, it will lose its control of the outpost city in the Tocharian region, and the Tocharian region will be completely out of the control of the Persian Empire, which will greatly reduce the financial resources of the Persian Empire, and then affect the Persian Empire's strategic plan to dominate Central Asia.

Shapur II, as a very famous king in Persian history, will naturally not show the slightest weakness in the face of the provocation of the Jin army, after all, this is a matter of face, and it is impossible to compromise, and his general Pratt naturally adheres to his will, and confidently leads the most elite 100,000 Ctesiphon army in Persia, ready to give the invading Jin army a head-on blow.

Two days later, Pratt and his 100,000 elite Persian army finally arrived near Mulu City and set up camp, ready to challenge the Jin army at any time.

The equipment of the Persian elite army is still relatively sophisticated, and the arms are extremely complete, among which the most elite legion is the war elephant legion directly under Palat, the war elephant legion has a total of 1,000 war elephants, and the soldiers are as high as 10,000, the average head of the war elephant is equipped with ten soldiers, one of the soldiers is riding on the head of the war elephant and is responsible for driving the war elephant, two soldiers stand on the elephant's saddle, responsible for condescending killing and wounding the enemy, and the remaining seven soldiers surround the war elephant to carry out comprehensive protection of the war elephant to prevent the enemy from cutting the war elephant. When they charge, they charge with the war elephants.

The elite war elephant corps composed of a thousand war elephants is not only the most elite army in Persia, but also the most elite army in the entire Central Asian region, in the fight with the Great Qin Empire, the Persian war elephant legion has repeatedly reversed the tide of the war at extremely critical moments, so that the Great Qin army was defeated, and the power of the war elephants can be seen in general, of course, in addition to the Persian Empire, many surrounding countries also have war elephant troops, but the scale is generally relatively small, such as the Tianzhu Kingdom has only three hundred war elephant soldiers, the reason is naturally very simple, That is, the cost of forming war elephants is very large, and war elephants are not very easy to train, and the Persian Empire can form a huge army of thousands of war elephants.

In addition to the war elephant legion, another elite of Persia is the camel cavalry, in Persia, a large area is desert, for this reason, Persia needs a camel cavalry that can adapt to the desert arid climate, and the scale of this elite army is also very large, there are 60,000 people, and the size of the Song Cheng legion, is in addition to the war elephant legion, the most elite legion, the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses are all all cavalry, and the war horses ridden by the soldiers are all excellent Arab war horses, It is much better than the war horses of the Jin army.

Of course, the Persian Empire also has a mysterious elite army, but this army is easy not to show up, has been responsible for guarding the capital city of Ctesiphon, this force is the Persian Imperial Forest Army Immortal Legion, can also be called the Immortal Legion, this is an elite army of exactly 10,000 troops, every time one person dies on the battlefield, it is convenient to replenish one person, so that this army always maintains the same strength, and it also has the title of the Immortal Legion, it is said that this army is extremely powerful, and every time it is dispatched, it will inevitably be able to break through the city that is difficult to break, It is the most mysterious and terrifying force of the Persian Empire, and even, there are many Persian generals who think that the Immortal Army is more elite than the War Elephant Legion, and the Immortal Legion is the real elite of the Persian Empire.

It is precisely because the Persian legion has such elite soldiers and horses that it can dominate Central Asia, so that all the small states in Tocharian and Transoxiana can submit to Persia, so as to willingly provide a lot of financial resources for the Persian Empire, so that the Persian Empire can maintain its huge military force.

However, the Jin army suddenly came from the east, so that the Persian Empire's wishful thinking was completely disrupted, the Persian Empire's financial resources, Central Asia's central region and Tocharian region were all occupied by the Great Jin, if these areas could not be captured as soon as possible, the Persian financial strength would be greatly weakened, and thus gradually decline, so that it would no longer have the ability to compete with the Great Qin Empire in the west.

Shapur II and Pratt understood this, so their top priority was to defeat the Jin army as soon as possible, so that the Jin army could withdraw from Tocharian and Transoxiana, and then restore the Persian Empire's rule over the area.

"General, the Jin army is divided into two roads, one is stationed in Mulu City, and the other is stationed in the camp outside the city, so it seems that it has formed a corner trend, but it is a scattered force, our army can concentrate all its forces to attack the Jin army outside the city, first annihilate all the Jin soldiers and horses outside the city, and then deal with the Jin army soldiers and horses in the city." A Persian general said.

"General, it is indeed a clever plan to break through, but if when the main force of our army attacks the Jin army outside the city, the Jin army soldiers and horses in the city suddenly come out, and our army will not suffer from the enemy." Another Persian general said.

The corner of Pratt's mouth smiled slightly, and he said: "Don't worry about this, the general is still afraid that the Jin army will shrink in Mulu City and not come out?" Our army has an invincible war elephant army, and we will see how the Jin army in the city can rescue when our army attacks the Jin army outside the city? After speaking, his eyes were full of confidence.

"Report, general, the Jin army sent someone to deliver a letter." Just then, a Persian soldier walked in.

When Pratt heard this, he was slightly surprised, and then took the letter and read it.

"Bastard, it's just nonsense, I'm going to be angry." Pratt threw the letter to the ground and roared angrily.

A Persian general gently picked up the letter, read it, handed it to a colleague next to him, and circulated it one by one.

Soon, all the Persian generals had read the letters sent by the Jin soldiers, and all of them looked extremely angry, the excessive demands and intimidating tone of the Great Jin made them feel that they had been humiliated, how could they endure such a humiliation after they had been rampant in Central Asia for many years.

"General, the tone of the Jin State is too big, and it is really unreasonable to ask our Persian Empire to submit to them, and also say that they will destroy our army if they do not belong to the Great Jin." A Persian general was furious.

"General, the Jin Kingdom is too arrogant, and they dare to despise my Persian Empire so much, it seems that they have not seen the strength of my Persian army, it is necessary to let them see it." Another Persian general said disdainfully.

"General, a thousand war elephants in our department can crush all the Jin army, and wait until the prestige of the Jin army is extinguished, and see how arrogant they are." The general of the War Elephant Legion said confidently.

An angry smile appeared on the corner of Pratt's mouth, and after a pause, Zhengse ordered: "The generals should prepare immediately, and in the evening, our army will attack the Jin army, and the generals will see if the Jin army is as powerful as they themselves say." ”

"Understood, General." The Persian generals received the order together, and each returned to the main camp, so that his soldiers and horses were ready to fight at any time.

#####

On the west gate wall of Mulu City, Hua An and his generals were looking in the direction of the Persian camp, and the soldiers sent out had returned, and Hua An and the others were imagining the expressions of the Persian generals after seeing the letter.

"Your Majesty, we have humiliated the Persian generals so much, that we are afraid that the Persian army will soon attack our army! Our army has the city as a support, so it is naturally not afraid of the Persian army, but General Song's soldiers and horses are outside the city, which is very unsafe. Wang San suggested softly.

Hua An smiled, waved his hand and said: "This king's humiliation of the Persian generals is a strategy to provoke the enemy, if the soldiers and horses of the Song generals are transferred into the city, the Persian army will not be fooled, and the next thing we have to do is to be arrogant to the enemy." ”

"The enemy's plan, does the king mean to defeat the soldiers and horses under General Song?" Wang San seemed to understand what Hua An meant.

Hua An nodded lightly, and said: "That's right, this king has sent someone to tell General Song to be careful against the Persian army, and to break and flee due north when the Persian army attacks, so as to create the illusion that our army is vulnerable, so that the Persian generals will have the idea of underestimating the enemy, so as to facilitate our army's next victory over the Persian army." ”

"How does the king plan to defeat the Persian army in the end?" Wang San asked curiously.

Hua An smiled and said, "Face it head-on in the field." ”

"What, face it head-on, how can this work, the Persian war elephant army is hugely powerful, I'm afraid that it is not something that our iron cavalry can resist, and we must adopt a proper strategy!" Wang San said in surprise.

The rest of the generals also looked at Hua'an with surprised eyes, after all, the generals of the Jin Army had not yet found the most effective way to deal with the War Elephant Legion in the field battle, and what was the combat strength of the War Elephant Legion, and how much damage the bow and arrow cluster shooting could cause to the war elephants, they had not encountered it, and they were not too clear, and they were somewhat apprehensive in their hearts.

Hua An smiled lightly, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, doesn't this king still have a secret weapon?" Thunderbolt siege is effective, and it must be effective against war elephants, and this king has asked General Song to try this method when he encounters war elephants, and this king believes that it will be effective. ”

Hearing this, Wang San nodded lightly, and said: "What the king said is that the thunderbolt is so loud that even many soldiers are frightened, and the war elephant is naturally no exception, and the last general believes in the king." ”

Hua An smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, noncommittal.

In the evening, the elite Persian army was all ready, and it only took Palat's order to launch an attack on Song Cheng's army.

"General, the army is ready to go." The ministry general reminded loudly.

Pratt nodded, and said: "The War Elephant Legion is the vanguard, and the 30,000 cavalry is the follow-up, and immediately launched an attack on the Jin army outside the city, and the general personally led 60,000 camel cavalry to suppress the formation and monitor the Jin army in the city." ”

"Yes, General." The Persian generals accepted the order and immediately went to prepare.

Pratt only sent 40,000 troops to attack the 60,000 camel cavalry of Song Cheng's army, which seemed to be a small number of enemies, but the Persian 10,000 war elephant army was extremely powerful, for this reason, Pratt believed that the combat power of the 40,000 army he sent was definitely stronger than the 60,000 camel cavalry of Song Cheng's army.

Under the unified command of Palat, 100,000 Persian elite troops slaughtered the Jin army, among them, the 10,000 war elephant army was extremely arrogant, and the thousands of war elephants marched, and the earth within a radius of several miles was shaking.

When the Persian army was mighty towards the Song Cheng army, the Song Cheng army was also ready to evacuate at any time, but if it was evacuated directly, it would not have the effect of arrogance against the enemy, for this reason, the Song Cheng army still had to fight with the Persian army, and used various methods to test how powerful the Persian war elephant army was, and what way to restrain the war elephant army.

The Persian army is getting closer and closer, the huge body of the war elephant has been met in the eyes of the Jin army soldiers, the violent earthquake tremor makes the Jin army soldiers very nervous, they have no experience with the war elephant army, for this reason, they don't know the power of the war elephant army at all, and the fear in their hearts is inevitable.

However, the marching speed of the war elephant is slower, at least much slower than that of the camel, so even if it is defeated by the war elephant army, Song Cheng's army can easily evacuate, which is very clear to the soldiers under Song Cheng's command, so they will not be too nervous.

"Rush, smash the Jin army camp." The generals of the Persian War Elephant Legion gave the order to charge.

......Under the order of the Persian elephant trainer, a thousand extremely majestic war elephants roared and ran towards the Jin army's camp, and the infantry following closely followed, not taking a step at all.

The war elephant has a huge body, and charging can create an unstoppable momentum, and all the soldiers of the Jin army who are ready to meet it can't help but tremble a little, and clench the bows and arrows in their hands.

"I really didn't see that such a bulky guy could run so fast." Song Cheng looked at the rushing war elephant and said in surprise.

"Yes! General, I don't think this elephant can run much slower than a camel! The general said nervously.

Song Cheng nodded and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, prepare the bow and crossbow." ”

When the soldiers of the Jin army heard the order, they immediately bent their bows and arrows, preparing to use the rain of arrows to deal with the Persian war elephants.

"General, the Persian war elephants are within range of our bows." The ministry general reminded loudly.

"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow immediately." Song Cheng did not hesitate to give the order to release the arrows.

"Whoosh ......" Suddenly, a large number of arrows in the Jin army camp rained down on the charging Persian war elephant army. (To be continued.) )
